Wearing a cross

[Keri]

I have a Star of David necklace from Israel, but I rarely wear it. You can get some really nice wooden crosses made from Olive wood if you search online.

I have a Star of David with the cross in the middle made of olive wood from Israel. I think that's the closest thing to a cross charm that I have.

what does the 't' stand for?

mine was the only remaining memory of my grandfather....it was a gift to me.
i do not think it has any special powers like fending off vampires..

No, I don't. I did for a long time, but now I don't.

I don't wear a cross. If I were to bear a Christian symbol it would be an older (i.e., pre-Constantine) one, such as the ichthys or chi rho. I've considered getting a small tattoo of one of those on my right inner wrist. Some monks used to do that so that they would show themselves to be a Christian whenever they raised their hands in greeting. Well, they used a cross. But same idea.

what about wearing a pentagram?

I go between a regular cross and a Celtic cross that I wear almost daily. I also have a rosary.

I used to wear one when I was younger.

I don't have one, but I wouldn't mind wearing one. Although necklaces are kind of...ehhh. Especially when you're not 15.

I wore one my grandma gave me every day for years after she passed, mostly during high school and then into my first few years of college. I stopped one day because it was drawing unwanted attention that made me feel really uncomfortable, and haven't worn it regularly since. It also coincided with other changes in my faith at the time, so it made sense to me.

No, I'm not one for crosses, rings or any form of jewellery.
If I did wear I would wear about ten at a time like Little Wayne or Fifty Cent does.

Edit.

I wear a cross, as part of a leather bracelet on my left wrist, it is unobrusive but it sparks conversation and also reminds me of Gods love for me. I also carry with me a holding cros, i use it when i pray through out the day, being dyslexic it gives me something to focus on when my words walk away .

What is more important: a cross on your neck

or the one you carry on your back daily. ;-)

That being said, I sometime wear one. I even think about a Jerusalem Cross or Santiago's Cross as a tattoo... Who knows.

I have a star of David I wear occasionally but that's about it.

An old friend made a little wooden cross for me under the condition that I eventually give it to a beautiful woman. As the only beautiful woman I plan to give it to is my future wife, I still have it. The cross went through a lot with me while I was in college, traveled up and down the East Coast, became a rear view mirror ornament, and even got run over by a car at one point. I carefully repaired it with CA glue, and eventually put it away for safekeeping. If I ever marry, I'll give the cross to my bride. Although it isn't exactly silver or gold, and I don't know if she'll appreciate the sentimental value it has for me, I look forward to the day when it's hers.

I don't wear jewelry that often but on Easter Sunday I wore a simple silver colored cross. I have a beautiful gold one made in Ireland but I felt it was too fancy to wear.
Often when I do wear necklaces they're hidden out of sight, I hate drawing attention to myself and I guess having a necklass could do that.

Question... I've seen a number of Christians say this in here, and I am not dissing anyone...But I am curious..Why do Christians wear stars of David?

I attended a Messianic synagogue for a time. I have the Messianic version of the Star of David.

I found this description on a website, "This Messianic symbol links Jew and Gentile, the Old and New Testaments, and Judaism and Christianity. It is a living faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; a faith that came to include all Christians when one of Israel's own sons, the Jew from Nazareth brought God's light to the nations. Messianics celebrate Jesus (Yeshua) as the risen Messiah of Israel as foretold throughout biblical scripture."

LOL! What Keri said.

I have a silver star of David and a gold star with a cross in the middle like hers. I rarely wear the gold one though because the chain is brittle and it scares me to have it out.

Ah, gotcha.
